Mouthfeel is fairly smooth on the palate with some graininess. Somewhat dry, somewhat bitter--fairly balanced between both.

Overall,
this rye ale is decently flavored with less of an alcohol bite than to be expected from the ABV. Good rye taste with a nice amount of hops and malt coming through along with caramel and some spice. Fairly muted, and almost mellow, making it a bit dangerous given the relatively high ABV. This one is almost like a barleywine in its flavor as it comes up to temperature.
